Woodrow Wilson threw out the first pitch of the 1916 season at Wrigley; Ronald Reagan chatted with Cubs Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Caray during a game in 1988; and Bill Clinton visited with slugger Sammy Sosa in 1999.

But perhaps the most famous political moment involved a future president - New York Gov. Franklin Delano Roosevelt - and a baseball icon, Babe Ruth.

On Oct. 1, 1932, in the midst of that year's presidential campaign, Roosevelt threw out the first pitch of Game 3 of the World Series - the same game in which Ruth (allegedly) pointed to the outfield before hitting a home run, sending the Yankees on to victory and an eventual four-game sweep of the Cubs.

FDR, a New Yorker after all, loudly applauded Ruth's heroics, and "the called shot" became one of the most famous moments in sports history.

The next month, Roosevelt scored a sweep of his own, a landslide victory over incumbent President Herbert Hoover.

Trivia fans take note: FDR attended the World Series game with the mayor of Chicago, Anton Cermak.

Months later, on Feb. 15, 1933, President-elect Roosevelt and Cermak were in riding in a car together in Miami when a man began firing a gun - striking and killing Cermak, but missing FDR.

Also in attendance at Game 3 of the 1932 World Series at Wrigley Field: 12-year-old Chicagoan John Paul Stevens, who would grow up to be a Supreme Court justice (and author of a stinging dissent in the 2000 case of Bush vs. Gore).
